Pasini Express recipe

Absolut 50° 'Red' Vodka must come straight out of a very cold freezer, the cocktail glass must be quite large and possibly extremely cold as well. Put a splash of Extra Dry Martini in the glass, shake it so to cover the walls of the glass with a film of vermouth and throw away what remains at the bottom of the glass, Pour 3 oz of Red Absolut vodka in the glass. Grind black pepper on the surface of the cocktail using an electric Peugeot mill, garnish with a Castelmadama olive but don't put any lemon whatsoever, for God's sake!

A popular variation is the substitution of the strong 50° Red Absolut with the more tolerable green Moskovskaya or, for the luxury-oriented, straight Belvedere.
